Located at the tip of Lidingö, where the urban pulse of Stockholm meets the silence of the archipelago, Ellery Beach House has established itself as a premier destination for modern retreat culture. Inspired by the aesthetic of international beach clubs, the resort is a masterclass in wellness.

When Ellery sought to expand their wellness offering, the challenge was to integrate an outdoor sauna that could withstand the operational demands of a world-class resort without compromising the visual design of the property.

Choosing an outdoor sauna is both an aesthetic and practical decision for decades — one that blends architecture, lifestyle, and wellbeing. Across the Nordic countries, the outdoor sauna has become an essential feature of modern living, offering a place to slow down and reconnect with nature. But what defines a good sauna? Below, we explore key considerations from a design and usability perspective, drawing on Finnish sauna tradition and modern building expertise. 

Soona creates outdoor saunas that combine Scandinavian design, superior materials, and effortless usability. Our mission is to provide a space for relaxation and wellbeing, allowing people to recharge in the midst of everyday life. Every detail is designed with quality in mind — from the high-performance Harvia heaters to the durable wood materials and thick insulation optimized for Nordic climates. We want to offer an authentic sauna experience while style, comfort, and durability.
